Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; Clues and real murders appear) Chapter 131 Lang is affectionate but concubine is unintentional
The pomegranate flowers are like fire, and the enchanting pavilion is outside.
Xie Raoping was allowed to sit across the table, looking at the few flavors of refreshments in the glass plate, as if he had loved it since he was a child, his mood seemed to be stirred up by a sudden warm wind, and he could no longer maintain calm.
The youth has gone far, from the beginning of love to the full house of children and grandchildren, many things have come to an irreparable level, such as the childhood sweetheart, but now, it is the difference between the monarch and the minister, and the dignity and humility of the world.
But the familiar taste lingers on the tip of the tongue, Xie Raoping is still inevitably in a trance after all, as if time passes, they are still young, looking forward to a better future together, growing old together, and flying together.
"Rao Ping, you've lost weight again."
When he heard these words of concern and sighing, he felt even more bitter, and tried to swallow the sweetness that had been chewed repeatedly in his mouth, and he could not speak for a long time.
"Qing's temperament has always been stubborn, I don't know how to be considerate of your many difficulties, you don't have to worry about her."
The man smiled slightly: "I never care." After a long silence, he asked, "Are you alright?" ”
In fact, there are many times when we meet, but there are not many opportunities to express such ordinary concerns.
"Things are going well, and I don't have anything wrong with it, and now, only by realizing my ambition can I not be a walking corpse......" The Queen Mother seemed to recall the old things extremely rarely, and the corners of her lips were gentle: "I never thought that I would come to such a point today, in the past, the greatest luxury was nothing more than to ...... with you." Although Aya has intentions, then, after all, I am just a concubine, if I am unknown, and my mother has the heart to satisfy her own daughter, I am afraid that you can only succumb to the orders of your parents...... Now I can meet you from time to time to reminisce about the past, after all, it is a blessing. ”
About the old things, the queen mother does not often mention, in fact, in addition to the first emperor after giving birth to an heir and promoted to a concubine, trying to promote Xie Raoping to use the piano music to win the appreciation of Dezong and finally be conferred, a year of palace banquet, the two finally have a chance to talk privately, the queen mother is not without sadness to recall the past, explain that she was involuntary back then, faintly revealed that the matter of entering the palace was caused by the mother-in-law, after so many years, this is the second time to mention.
Although he was valued by Wei's father, he was brought up by the Wei family, and learned early in the morning that Wei's father had the intention of marrying, but he knew that his family was embarrassed, and he was quite embarrassed by the humiliation under the fence.
Originally, with the support of Wei's father, he thought that marrying the person he wanted was a matter of course, but when Haichi said his worries, Xie Raoping knew that Wei Binxiang's sisters also had a good impression of him, and they were planning to break him up with Haichi, but at that time, he also saw through Wei's mother that he was quite weak, and thought that Haichi was a little worried, but in order to express his sincerity, he still agreed to cooperate with Haichi to help her show her talent, thinking that in this way, even if Wei's mother persuaded her parents with the difference between her concubines, there was always room for change.
Zhou people value talents, as long as they are talented, sometimes they are not so important.
Mother Wei, who never wanted to look weak and inactive, sure enough, because of her selfish calculations, Empress Dowager Lu made a decree, and her teacher was helpless.
Wei Bin was compensated for his treacherous schemes, but because of the sudden appearance of such a prominent family as Jing Zhaoliu, he immediately "saw something different" and clinged to the dignitaries, Xie Raoping just breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want Wei Qingxiang to still be entangled.
He hesitated and refused, but he was never able to speak in the face of his teacher.
This is the truth that Xie Raoping understands, and he has believed it for decades.
However, the mistakes have been made, and they can never go back to the past.
Xie Raoping took a deep breath before he could press the sourness that was churning in his chest, and smiled bitterly: "I have nothing else to wish, in this life, only for the Queen Mother." ”
Even if he doesn't mention the old friendship, Xie Raoping also understands that he has today's powerful position, which is completely due to the support of the Queen Mother, and his kindness is like a mountain, which is enough to die forever.
"Rao Ping, I understand your ambitions."
"Except for my teacher, only you know me very well."
The Queen Mother stretched the corners of her lips, and then she got down to business: "There were some accidents in the palace, and I never mentioned it to you, not because I didn't mean to hide it, but because I never made up my mind how to deal with it...... It was Ji De, she was found out by the concubine and persuaded the sage to interrogate herself, it was the poisoning of Pei Shi back then. ”
Xie Raoping immediately frowned.
"Don't worry too much, Ji De has not confessed, he has committed suicide by touching the wall, there is no evidence, and the saint will no longer pursue it...... But I was always worried about another accident at this juncture, so I had some difficulties in dealing with Ji De's aunt and younger brother...... Only today is the decision made. The Queen Mother held the cup and took a sip of tea.
"The Queen Mother is in charge of the orders."
At that time, Ji De's parents and sisters-in-law were angry with Xiao Cui Hou to retaliate against the door, but the Queen Mother had already calculated, before Xiao Cui did the first to cause Ji De's three-year-old brother to "get lost", of course, after telling Ji De that she spent a lot of manpower to find her younger brother, in order to make Ji De feel at ease, the Queen Mother allowed Ji De's widowed aunt to take care of her younger brother, and also allowed Ji De to go out of the palace to see the family a few times, of course, the Queen Mother did not let Ji De's two relatives lose control, and has been taken in and supervised by Xie Raoping, although they are clothed and fed, but they are not free.
"Ji De is loyal, and I promise to take care of his relatives, but I can't bear to break my word...... In order to prevent the concubine from detecting any more clues, she sent them away far away, and was careful not to contact outsiders. The Queen Mother said.
Xie Raoping seemed to be a little hesitant, wanting to remind that leaving these two jobs was a hidden danger after all, but it can be seen that the Queen Mother was so embarrassed, and finally couldn't bear to advise, so she only agreed.
After he said goodbye, the Queen Mother still stayed in the pavilion for a while, and Chunying couldn't help asking: "The Queen Mother saw Prime Minister Xie today, but she made a decision?" Although the concubine seems to have no action, it is not safe to stay alive after all. ”
The Queen Mother didn't blame her confidants for being talkative, and replied with a smile: "I have instructed to let Xie Xiang place people outside the capital, even if the concubine wants to investigate, she has no ability, she and her mother's family have completely turned their faces, and there is no one in the palace to help her collude with the palace." ”
When Chunying heard this, she couldn't help but secretly praise the Queen Mother's kindness, although Ji De died, the family could always die if they were safe.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's smile turned cold.
Rao Ping must understand that he can't leave hidden dangers, don't look at the verbal promise, he will inevitably kill the killer secretly.
The reason why the Queen Mother did not immediately extinguish her mouth was nothing more than to test whether the concubine had an accomplice, in the final analysis, the Queen Mother still can't believe that the concubine really broke with her blood relatives, if she just pretended, this time since she was desperate, she was bound to contact her family secretly and asked her to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Jide's family, but more than ten days have passed, but the concubine has not moved, and the Liu family has not moved at all.
Since Ji De is dead, of course the two containments are useless, where will the Queen Mother stay alive.
However, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and breaking the promise is always not very glorious, not to mention being detected by the spring warbler, etc., maybe it will give birth to rabbits and dead foxes and damage loyalty.
So she didn't want to say it directly, or even will, but fortunately, Xie Raoping didn't change her affection for her, and some things didn't need her to say it directly and understood what to do was the most appropriate.
It's not in vain that back then, she wasted a lot of thoughts, and even did not hesitate to completely turn against Wei Binxiang and the two sisters, striving for such a down-and-out son to make a heart-to-heart agreement, and she did not hesitate to help, so that Xie Raoping and his down-and-out world became a power-leaning government and opposition.
However, Empress Dowager Wei, who consciously did not leak a drop of water, was negligent.
He Ye, King of Jin.
Of course, the reason for her negligence was because the Queen Mother did not expect that there was already a small team of people in Qianniu Wei who would never betray the Son of Heaven and had already been transferred to He Ye, including He Yan, who was born in the clan.
Since the time of Dezong, he has cultivated a hundred henchmen in the Qianniu Guard, only acting on the orders of the king, responsible for guarding, spying, secret arrest, etc., most of these hundred shadow guards are from the clan or nobles, and are the king's henchmen, this matter is confidential, and even the Queen Mother does not know, before Dezong died, he was entrusted to He Yan, but unfortunately He Yan's degree of desolation of government affairs is far better than that of Dezong, and these hundred shadow guards have not received the rest of the orders for a long time in addition to protection, which is simply a waste.
Because of this, the Queen Mother has never been aware of the existence of the shadow guard.
However, in the end, the shadow guards have undergone professional training, and it is not difficult to make spying secrets unnoticed.
Although He Ye didn't know the detailed list of shadow guards, let alone mobilize all the shadow guards, it was just to investigate the whereabouts of Jide's family, and it was enough to obey him to dispatch these ten people at present.
So......
He Ye already knew who the Ji De family was in.
But of course, he didn't stop Xie Raoping from killing people.
Sometimes the evidence is not important at all, the key is who finds out the report.
He Ye believed that even if there was no proof of death, as long as Ji De's family had been taken in by Xie Raoping, and He Yan returned to the Son of Heaven, his brother would definitely believe it.
